Excellent “history of”. I loved the idea of Galvatron when I was a kid, especially that he was “reformatted”, a totally new character, not just a new paint job.
Thanks! I like how it's ambiguous enough that it's up for debate. New body and old mind vs reincarnation with some distant memories of his past life. There's no right answer because who knows what Unicron actually did to him? He certainly didn't warn him about the mind-torture.
@@MichaelMercy There’s a miss opportunity to call Predacon Megatron’s Dragon form Galvatron. Think about it. Both became insane after a dip in lava.
Galvatron always looked like he was wearing a crown... suitable for a mad King! I now eagerly await the History of Shockwave... the _greatest_ purple Transformer!
I always thought that too.
When Cyclones takes Galvatron to have a psy eval it's funny how accurate of the processes with them having Cyclones filling out signing the consent to treatment
Only to have Galvatron drive the entire planet of Torkulon mad instead. What a great episode.
The CIA could use Galvatron's electronic sounds as an interrogation device. Great history video Michael 😀
Waking up feeding my daughter sitting down with a big cup of coffee and watching a Michael Mercy video is my weekend tradition ☕👍
Awesome history video Michael!! Galvatron was always one of my favorite new Decepticons in the 86 movie, but he really went crazy after the movie. I always thought when Unicron was destroyed Galvatron lost his link with him and it messed up his 'brain'.
All and all though Galvatron was a really great designed Transformer. I always liked his cannon mode.
Thanks for the history lesson Michael! Nerdmaste my brother.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I thought that too. Unicron's price for a 2nd chance at life is that you're his slave, and if he dies, you lose your mind. That's why Prime truly won their final battle. Prime got a warrior's death. Megatron may have survived, but got a fate worse than death. Not sure why Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps didn't go crazy though. Instead, they just became inept. 😁
@@MichaelMercy I wouldn't call Cyclonus inept... he was the guy struggling to keep everything from falling apart after the Movie. From handling the unstable Galvatron to preventing the troops from leaving or mutiny. And he had a strong sense of honor, especially for a Decepticon. I love "The Killing Jar", he and Ultra Magnus developed a mutual respect... they were only enemies because they were on opposing sides.
@@MichaelMercy My theory is that Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the Insecticons were all dead by the time they reached Unicron, Megatron was still barely alive, and thus his consciousness continued when he got reformatted, whereas Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps are altogether different characters than the bodies they were built from.
Thanks, Michael. G1 Galvatron and Ultra Magnus are my favorite Transformers of all time and I am so grateful for your treatment of the former. Happy Holidays.
Found a small collection of SCF figures in my buddies collection including Galvatron. I’m surprised how expensive these have become over the years. Thank you!
I love the unique design of g1 galvatron,his head design looks like a helmet,and i do Like the idea of him being reborned megatron,i mean if he's a seprate character,he will be not megatron,i honestly hated the idea of him being just a repaint in the unicron triolgy,even tho his color scheme was fitting with megatron designs in that contunity(especially in energon),his role waa really good in the netfliex kingdom show,i wish if they give him more screentime more than just a unicron reformat puppet
so much more than jsut a megatron clone, ty for the video!
Awesome!
I think the reason for the size of that toy is because he initially designed to Ultra Magnus's rival, the Decepticon city commander (Magnus for Metroplex and him for Trypticon). I suspect the toy designers had NO knowledge that he was going to Megatron 2.0, even in the toy commercial had him introduced by Megatron. I think there's still old Japanese images of Galvatron and Megatron fighting Optimus and Magnus. I like the character and am baffled why it took so long for Hasbro to give us a PROPER modern toy of him.
I remember that, in some early drafts, Galvatron wasn't mean to BE Megatron. He was suppose to replace him like Rodimus replaced Optimus. That idea got scratched very early on and Starscream got to fill Megatron's shoes, lol.
Somewhere I still have a script of the movie in which Dirge jumps Optimus from behind. Prime grabs him and uses him as a shield from one of Megatron's blast, ending him. Megatron lowers his canon and says: "No, I'll crush you with my bare hands" It had a note saying something in the lines of: "Optimus wouldn't do that" So many changes this one movie had, lol
Galvatron vaporizing Megatron would have been the worst death in the movie, and that's saying something. Played out perfectly the way they did it, Galvatron finishing what Megatron should have done to Starscream long ago.
Also nice to hear they were so thoughtful of what Prime would and wouldn't do.
Marvel uk galvatron is my favourite transformer.id love to see a takara masterpiece in his comic colours
Behold,Galvatron. And,these shall be your minions...
Superb History Of Galvatron(Patreon Special Missions),also Galvatron is not only one of my favorite Bad Guys and Best Villains of all time,but also one of my Favorite Transformer Villains of all time as well,also Galvatron is not only an enemy of The Autobots and their Human, Nebluain,and Alien Allies,not only He's an enemy of 1.Ultra Magnus,2.Hot-Rod(formerly Rodimus Prime) 3.Grimlock, and Optimus Prime, but also(as of 2022):Decepticon Leader,Leader Of The Decepticons and Ally Of Both Lord Zarak and The Hive,also the following Bio,Profile: 1.allegiance (as of 2022): Decepticon,Function(as of 2022):Commander,Leader, Transformation(as of 2022):Energy Laser Cannon,2.Gun,also Galvatron is formerly known as Megatron Reformatted by Unicron into Galvatron, also among all Transformers Galvatron still has no Physical Equal.The Power of Unicron courses through his every circuit;an Entrie Team of Autobots(fully charged)and an Entrie Team Of fully charged Primes could all be brushed away with a single swipe of his arm he also possess enough Strength to pulverize an Autobot or a Decepticon into scrap metal his arm- mounted cannon fires a range of energy Beans ,from super-heated plasma to direct-current electricity. In Cannon mode the Capability is magnified even further.a single blast is capable of overloading Killing and Destroying a Transformer instantly.but also Galvatron can also transform and shrink into a powerful Pistol Mode that is usable by most Transformers, Galvatron is also Powerful, Analytical, Arrogant,Conceited,Mean, Compassionless,And Merciless,but also Honorable,and evil,also superb Restropective/History of Galvatron Micheal thank you and keep them coming.🙂👍also the History of Galvatron and Galvatron Toys are outstanding,also thanks for sharing Micheal keep up the great work stay safe out there and Till All Are One.🙂👍💪✌️🇺🇸⚖️🏋️
that was so dope. i spent a good chunk of the spring hunting down Behold Galvatron. it's a nice showpiece. great job as always, and Warrior's title was a nice touch.
I miss his codependency on his minions as a gun, especially with starscream lol
Wow I don't think I ever knew about that watch!
Galvatron is the unsung hero of the tf movie
Nice work about Behold! The History of Galvatron (Patreon Special Missions) good job now Mr Michael Mercy keep it up working hard now as well and stay safe ❤️
'First Prime...then Ultra Magnus...and now you! It's a pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!!!'
Great video about a truly amazing character; the Marvel UK version of Galvatron in particular was just sublime, and a perfect menacing combination of cunning and crazy (although the 'Transformers: The Movie' version certainly had some killer lines like the one I just quoted, but I digress); most people would probably cite 'Target 2006' or 'Time Wars' as their favourite UK Galvatron story, but I personally have a soft spot for the 'Fallen Angel' arc, where he's powerful enough to take on a dozen or more Autobots while barely breaking a robo-sweat - including all five Dinobots, for Primus' sake! - and that's before he tries to make himself into a god with his volcanic power siphon...!!!
(I also really liked the version of Galvatron who popped up in 'Perchance to Dream' - although it might be Galvatron II or even Galvatron III, given the confusion that exists with dating Earthforce stories, yes? - in fact, I took the last part of that story in to sixth-form college to show to my A-Level English teacher because it quoted Hamlet, and we were doing Hamlet in class at the time!).
More recently, I picked up a more-or-less complete unboxed G1 Galvatron toy at a convention in Llandudno, North Wales a few years back (it even had the original instructions...!), and he still looks and works great, aside from one of the cannon treads constantly coming loose from its arm peg in robot mode...as for his size, I think he was deliberately meant to match up to Ultra Magnus, as they were the ones being marketed as 'The New Leaders!' back in the day, yes...?!
Here's hoping for a History of Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime vid from you soon to boot...'Til All Are Fun...!!!!
in the head master comic book series when i last read, it had an advertisement for a power master galvatron.
Love your slide 🎸 guitar intro
That’s the great @seanpinchin
@@MichaelMercy did you check out robert johnson yet
This was great, thank you!!
Tremendous look at Galvatron! I'm fortunate enough to have been gifted the Legends/Kingdom style Galvatron in the toy accurate colors as opposed to the toon-accurate colors, and to my surprise, I think I love him even more. When standing next to Cyclonus and Scourge, he stands out more: less purple, I mean...lavender.
Feel the power of the lavender! 💜 What I like about the G1 toy colours is it's closer to Megatron with all the grey, so it looks nice if you've got a Megatron to go along with him.
@@MichaelMercy Totally! I have a Seige War For Cybertron Earthrise Kingdom Pepsi Zero Equal Housing Lender Megatron, and it works!
Good stuff!!
Great show you truly are a great story teller and editing master.
Thank you. 🙏
Awesome! 🙏
RRRRRaaaah! I approve of this history lesson! Now I must wreck, mangle, destroy!! ~ Galvatron
This guy is on my list to pick up one day! Last year I really bought quite a few a few vintage Transformers!👍😁. Excellent review my friend 🙏
Thank you! Good luck with your hunt.
❤️ much love good brother!
When Energon Galvatron came out he was very cool. The head sculpt and the body looked great despite all the kibble. I did have the Lavender Galvatron and liked it a lot but for a long time I thought the Energon Galvatron was great until they improved it recently. I do have the Fans Toys Galvatron and I think that is the best version at the moment.
Would be cool if galvatron if the next release had his G1 sound effect firing Cannon
I cannot help it. I have and will a soft spot in my freezing cold heart for Galvatron. Yeah, I'll always prefer Megatron but Galvy does not F around with traitors & deceivers. Plus, he had my favorite line in the movie: "This is bad comedy!"
Awesome video,GALVATRON is my favorite transformer period,he is the embodiment of a tyrant in every sense of the word and the best part is he's a DECEPTICON 😈💪...no puny autobots 🤣👍
🖖 finally an appropriate moment to use this emoji!
Love it
Ahh,,,In the Marvel UK Comics, Galvatron was a total badass!!
Smart, cunning, and deliciously evil, he had some memorable fights with Ultra Magnus.
Check out the 'Target: 2006' storyline. Voted one of the BEST.
Galvatron is one of my favorite versions of Megatron. Now, the g2 tank mode of Megatron also towered over previous versions of the decepticon leader we all love.
Would love to see you finish out the G I Joe series. I know the line decreased from 87-93 but you can bunch the years together if you’d like. Waited for a while. Good work tho👍🏻
As much as I loved 86 movie Galvatron with Nimoy’s voice season 3 unhinged Galvatron was hilarious.
Highly recommend the 10 part story "target 2006" from marvel UK.
Megatron is cold hearted, but Galvatron is psychotic. I honestly can not decide which of these two minds is the more sinister one? Megatron's mind is more unsympathetic, but Galvatron is far more destructive. lol
He was certainly crazy.
This was great
Than you, happy you enjoyed it.
@@MichaelMercy all your content takes me back to my childhood 🤣🤣 thank you
I can see how nice these figures look, but I'll say it again: If it doesn't transform, it's not a Transformer.
One thing I didn’t like about Galvatron was when he showed up on the series. He wasn’t voiced by Nimoy like in the 86 film, and his series voice was nowhere as cool as Megatron’s was.
I wish Galvatron would have been terrifyingly ferocious in seasons 3 & 4 of the G1 era like he was in "The Transformers: The Movie", and they could have retained the vocal talents of Leonard Nimoy, who was a far better voice for Galvatron.
I was wondering where the original design came from. Most were existing Japanese toys. Was original Galvatron made from scratch for the US
I recall hearing the movie toys were the first to be jointly designed by Hasbro and Takara. Galvatron wasn't an existing Diaclone toy like the other previous Transformers had been.
HAIL GALVATRON ! HAIL GALVATRON !! HAIL GALVATRON !!!
Ultimetals galvatron is a nice offering too…
He's my favorite transformer
PS: For a fun take on an alternative G1 timeline where Galvatron and Ultra Magnus duly took over from Megatron and Optimus under mysterious circumstances in the then-Present Day, but all the other G1 characters were pretty much still around, try the UK Ladybird books/audio cassettes 'Galvatron's Air Attack' at ruclips.net/video/CEtdpGT8WFo/видео.html and especially 'Decepticon Hideout' at ruclips.net/video/S5Q1ktmUAI4/видео.html - HIGHLY recommended listening, yes...?!
Hey Micheal, I have a question, do you think you will ever make a 90’s Toy Museum? Like when you’ve covered everything in this heavenly place, will you cover the 90’s G2 line, Beast wars, and Machine wars and such? Just curious.
Hello there. I don't have the time, money or space for that, but I'd love to see someone else do it and show it off.
@@MichaelMercy I understand. I don’t want you to spend money that you don’t have just to create something that you already have. You are right though, it would be cool.
Japanese Galvratron is SAVAGE KRA KRA!!!!!!
There’s a Galvatron I want include it’s the NewAge mini figure called by Dairus a small like masterpiece Galvatron
Which was your favorite version?
I can understand why Galvatron was in a three pack of triple changers with octane and astrotrain. Because if you're going by G1 continuity by that point in time blitzwing had left the Decepticons after five faces of darkness. That being said you could make the argument that octane betrayed Galvatron as well..... So come to think of it you're right lol 😆😆😆
I was expecting an origin story of the character not of the toy line
The big boardcast of 2006 lol
I have him just need the blaster
Are you able to do a history for Optimus next, please?
I've done in-depth videos for the '84 and '88 releases if you search on my channel. There have been so many Optimus Prime toys, I'd have to do them decade by decade. Too many to fit in one video.
@@MichaelMercy I meant, what are your opinions on Optimus’ designs and characters after G1 (ie Robots in Disguise 2001, Unicron Trilogy etc)?
The g1 galvatron is giving me lord zedd vibes
Man that purple wwf gold eagle strap is the tits!
He is crazy. No I am galvatron
I like him better as🤖Megatron...🤘🏼💯✔️
I used to sellotape a fanta orange bottle to my arm when i was a kid and pretended i was galvatron
Great idea! 😊
Megatron merely uses Galvatron...lol
PPS: Speaking of Galvatron, my Kingdom for a Masterpiece Death's Head toy...probably never happen due to Marvel/Hasbro rights issues, but a Freelance Peacekeeping Agent can dream, yes....?!
OMG... I would die for a Death's Head, whether in the Transformers line or even Marvel Legends.
There’s a missed opportunity in Beast Wars for Predacon Megatron to call himself Galvatron after obtaining his Dragon Form.
Think about it. Both are reborn into something more insane after a dip in lava.
We need more cons who are mortars.
He is crazy No I am galvatron
I traded galvatron for MegaTron when I was a kid. Sadly I didn’t get to hold on to any of them past childhood . But never a fan of any version of galvatron.
Those live action perversions of galvatrona are horrible
